Joe Kusy – Popcorn Salamander 7” EP (Founding Fathers)

Solo outing from Far-Out Fangtooth guitarist Kusy, here showing off a wildly indulgent side of his musical personality and away from the dark, pressurized howl of his main band. This is a bunch of bedroom/kitchen sink pop, glued together with epoxy and pipe cleaners, and with the tarnish of lo-fi production to match. What he’s playing sounds unfinished but vital, with the drive and mentality of the first 30 seconds of a kid set loose in a cotton candy factory. With some work – probably time, a recording budget, and some more thought – this could contend with some of the best out-there bands around. Think of this as a tiny, scarce little marker for the place he’ll go next. 50 numbered copies, and 300 of the regular press. (http://ffccrecords.blogspot.com)
